The participation of Iraqi women in political life is a fundamental element in achieving sustainable development and building a just and balanced society. Women constitute half of society, and their role in decision-making cannot be overlooked. Iraqi women's political participation has witnessed remarkable progress since 2003, particularly with the adoption of the women's quota system, which has contributed to enhancing women's representation in the Council of Representatives and political institutions. Iraqi women's political participation aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 5 (gender equality), which emphasizes empowering women and girls and ensuring their active participation in political and public life. This participation also contributes to achieving Goal 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions) by promoting good governance, inclusive participation, and building representative institutions that reflect all segments of society. Iraqi women have contributed to raising social and humanitarian issues and participating in the enactment of legislation related to human rights, education, and health, in addition to their role in civil society organizations and reform movements. However, this role still faces several challenges, most notably social constraints, weak empowerment within political parties, and limited access for women to influential leadership positions. Developing Iraqi women's political participation requires adopting policies that support political education and training, raising public awareness of the importance of women's role, and providing a legal environment that guarantees equal opportunities. It also necessitates strengthening purposeful media that promotes the image of women in leadership, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals aimed at achieving social justice and inclusive development.
